1911 buffers are just one of those things.
They come apart and jam guns. We know they come apart and jam guns because it's easy to find people who will tell you they will. What it's a lot harder to do is actually find people who've had them come apart and jam guns.
They're consumables. If you use them too long they will fall apart. Like most things in life.
Once upon a time, I was perty-sure that buffers were akin to snake oil.
More lately though, I decided to see for myself, so I installed one of Wilson's, blue, 1911 buffers onto the reciever-end of my Mini-14's op-rod spring (yeah, it fits great and serves the same purpose it would serve in a 1911).
So far, it's been in there for a bit over 500 rds without causing a single problem.
If/when it breaks, falls apart, melts, catches on fire, or causes a malfunction, I'll start a thread and include all the gory details......but....just going from how it looks today compared to how it looked on day one, that may be a while. :lol: .
